Greetings

Hi, I'm Barry the father of our family.

You may be wondering what this is all about, who we are and why we moved to Mexico.

Here's the 2 minute history....

I'm From England and Linda was born in Canada, we met in the UK in 1991. That year we spent the summer "travelling" Europe, I say "travelling' because that was the plan but plans do have a way of changing . We set out for Crete in early April with the intention of heading north through Europe, however August arrived (and the money ran out) and we'd only visited three of the islands and had setup home on Thira (Santorini.) At this point we sailed to Athens and caught the Magic bus all the way back to the UK.

We got married in 92 and have lived in Canada ever since, until this year that is. Canada is a fantastic place we've seen lots of it and have lived in three provinces, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia where our boys Morgan and Callan were born in 97 and 99.

Since 2000 we have been based in Wainfleet near Niagara falls, it's a great spot but after nine years we were ready to move on.

Once again we didn't originally intend to live in another Country, our plan was to travel for six months to a year before settling down again. In 2008 we began planning and the closer the trip got we found the longer we wanted to stay away for. Linda had also just completed her Teaching degree and was eager to put what she'd learned into practice. Working abroad seemed to be the perfect answer. Linda spent days job hunting on the net and found opportunities in Korea, Peru, Equador and Mexico. We chose Mexico because the position was the most interesting. Linda is the English content teacher and child development expert at a startup international school.

Well that's the basics, our intention is to use this blog to share our experiences on an ongoing basis.

So there's more to come.
